Abstract
A vit. B12 requirement was not demonstrated for the Syrian hamster when fed either corn-soybean-oil meal ration with or without iodinated casein, or a casein basal ration with or without iodinated casein. No increase in the rate of gain was observed when 2% whole liver substance was added to these rations. Parallel expts. were conducted with rats fed the corn-soybean oil meal ration plus iodinated casein in which a vit. Bl2 requirement was demonstrated. A reduction in food efficiency was observed in rats attributable to the vit. B12 deficiency.Keywords
